1 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/02/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 2007/04/04
4 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
5 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
6 2007/03/30
7 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
8 if found
9 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
10 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
11 of the project
12 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
13 2007/03/29
14 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
15 - updated AUTHORS
16 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
17 FullName, even if there was no last name)
18 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
19 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
20 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
21 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
22 this special case, without relying on string length.
23 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
24 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
25 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
26 2007/03/17
27 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
28 2007/03/16
29 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
30 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
31 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
32 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
33 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
34 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
35 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
36 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
37 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
38 in some cases
39 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
40 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
41 2007/03/08
42 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
43 udev rules for the Pearl
44 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
45 functionality
46 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
47 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
48 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
49 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
50 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
51 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
52 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
53 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
54 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
55 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
56 - added license file to each packageo
57 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
58 discussion
59 - updated AUTHORS
60 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
61 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
62 for the bug report
63 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
64 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
65 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
66 user.
67 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
68 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
69 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
70 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
71 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
72 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
73 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
74 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
75 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
76 as a guide
77 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
78 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
79 2007/03/02
80 - version bump in:
81 - configure.ac
82 - src/Makefile.am
83 - src/version.cc
84 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
85 - src/Doxyfile
86 - rpm/barry.spec
87 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
88 for it
89 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
90 device discovery code
91 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
92 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
93 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
94 than are really available... in this case, let's
95 just ignore the missing data and assume success
96 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
97 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
98 - ReleaseChecklist update
99 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
100 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
101 dependency
103 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
104 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
105 2007/02/28
106 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
107 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
108 - added initial release maintainer scripts
109 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
110 no databases selected in configuration
111 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
112 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
113 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
114 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
115 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
116 2007/02/23
117 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
118 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
119 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
120 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
121 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
122 -v now controls this as well
123 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
124 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
125 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
126 the beginning of USB conversations
127 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
128 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
129 its sequence number behaviour
130 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
131 socket 0 level command
132 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
133 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
134 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
135 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
136 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
137 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
138 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
139 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
140 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
141 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
142 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
143 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
144 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
145 of socket 0 packets
146 - updated controller.cc:
147 - uses new socket 0 implementation
148 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
149 selecting modes, as it should use the
150 socket 0 sequence number
151 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
152 - updated some .cvsignore files
153 - updated TODO
154 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
155 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
156 - ChallengeSeed()
157 - RemainingTries()
158 - SocketResponse()
159 - SocketSqeuence()
160 - moved Command() to base Packet class
161 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
162 new PasswordChallenge struct
163 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
164 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
165 password hashing logic.
166 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
167 2007/02/22
168 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
169 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
170 - major LDIF overhaul:
171 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
172 into its own
173 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
174 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
175 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
176 contact field names
177 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
178 if necessary
179 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
180 notes fields were missed in old version if not
181 encoded
182 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
183 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
184 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
185 - large update to btool manpage
186 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
187 2007/02/15
188 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
189 - removed commented code from translate.cc
190 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
191 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
192 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
193 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
194 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
195 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
196 instead of hardcoding it.
197 2007/02/10
198 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
199 - minor tweaks to README
200 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
201 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
202 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
203 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
204 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
205 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
206 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
207 2007/02/09
208 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
209 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
210 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
211 - added iomanip to debug.h
212 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
213 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
214 2007/02/04
215 - updated AUTHORS
216 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
217 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
218 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
219 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
220 from Ian Darwin
221 2007/02/03
222 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
223 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
224 - updated AUTHORS
225 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
226 2007/02/02
227 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
228 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
229 one base class: Barry::Error
230 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
231 - added BadPassword exception
232 2007/02/01
233 - version bump in:
234 - configure.ac
235 - src/Makefile.am
236 - src/version.cc
237 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
238 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
239 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
240 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
241 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
242 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
243 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
244 in the future.
245 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
246 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
247 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
248 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
249 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
250 due to pending reads
252 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
253 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
254 2007/01/26
255 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
256 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
257 - iostream output size fixes
258 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
259 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
260 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
261 this is still experimental
262 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
263 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
264 Debian stable
265 - uncommented the about box menu handler
266 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
267 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
268 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
269 2007/01/25
270 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
271 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
272 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
273 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
274 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
275 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
276 and record objects that use it.
277 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
278 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
279 32 bits
280 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
281 This returns the default rectype that should work
282 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
283 the device, but in the case where a database has no
284 records, this info would be good to know.
285 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
286 to use GetDefaultRecType()
287 - documented the recurrance data and how to use it in Calendar objects
288 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
289 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
290 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
291 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
292 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
293 - backup GUI updates:
294 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
295 and changed the logic so the restore continues
296 even if there was a protocol error on one database
297 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
298 i.e. Backup or Restore
299 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
300 it appears to be read-only on the device
301 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
302 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
303 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
304 supported now by the library
305 2007/01/21
306 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
307 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
308 - changes to patch:
309 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
310 using the library should not care about endianness
311 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
312 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
313 install
314 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
315 for the same reason
316 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
317 Version call instead
318 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
319 - updated AUTHORS
320 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
321 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
322 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
323 2007/01/20
324 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
325 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
326 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
327 some older devices
328 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
329 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
330 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
331 through btool, for development
332 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
333 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
334 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
335 - finished implementation of GUI restore
336 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
337 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
338 exceptions need to be handled with
339 Glib::add_exception_handler()
340 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
341 - added pending gui/TODO items
342 2007/01/19
343 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
344 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
345 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
346 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
347 when we try to write to it)
348 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
349 2007/01/18
350 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
351 2007/01/13
352 - updated copyright dates for the new year
353 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
354 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
355 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
356 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
357 - updated README
358 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
359 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
360 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
361 backups only at this point
362 2007/01/11
363 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
364 - added version API, returning version number and string
365 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
366 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
367 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
368 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
369 2007/01/05
370 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
371 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
372 in probe.h)
373 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
374 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
375 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
376 leaving the device in Desktop mode
377 2007/01/04
378 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
379 different rules
380 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
381 USB product ID 6
382 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
383 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
384 2006/12/29
385 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
387 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
388 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
389 2006/12/29
390 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
391 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
392 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
393 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
394 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
395 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
396 depend on.
397 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
398 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
399 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
400 package scripts
401 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
402 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
403 a future Debian install
404 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
405 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
406 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
407 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
408 2006/12/21
409 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
410 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
411 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
412 - fixed more endian issues
413 - minor update to TODO
414 2006/12/15
415 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
416 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
417 2006/12/08
418 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
419 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
420 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
421 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
422 2006/12/07
423 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
424 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
425 on old build system if wanted
426 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
427 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
428 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
429 into their own tools/ subdirectory
430 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
431 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
432 use only
433 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
434 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
435 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
436 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
437 properly when installed standalone
438 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
439 installed barry library
440 - added commentary on version number system
441 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
442 system supercedes it
443 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
444 - added library version number to autoconf build
445 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
446 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc
447 - removed libusb check in favour of specific --with-libusb
448 option... may need to revisit this later
449 - quick installation update in README
450 2006/12/01
451 - fixed some missed endian conversions in record.cc and added
452 some size checks
453 - fixed endian issues in time.h
454 - added 2 more functions to the time zone API, and adjusted
455 the time zone table for better defaults in North America
456 - added btool and upldif to the make install sequence
457 - added support for Calendar recurrance data
458 - small doc/TimeZones.txt update
459 2006/11/24
460 - added BlackBerry time zone code list, reverse engineered from a 7750
461 - added GetTimeZone() to convert device time zone codes to useful data
463 Release: version 0.0.3 - 2006/11/24
464 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
465 2006/11/23
466 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
467 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
468 from any int
469 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
470 uploading to device to fail
471 2006/11/10

479 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
480 at once
481 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
482 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
483 more use of the base exception to make sure no
484 exceptions leak into the C library code
486 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
487 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
488 2006/10/12
489 - fixed casting error in opensync module
490 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
491 2006/09/29
492 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
493 the bug report
494 2006/09/08
495 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
496 splitting the code into 3 groups:
497 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
498 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
499 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
500 header of its own, in the case of email
501 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
502 Record does not know the details of the packet
503 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
504 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
505 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
506 providing an API for it... packet does not know
507 the record format details, but does know the
508 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
509 packet format.
510 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
511 of operation formats and record formats, with the
512 record formats being the same even with different
513 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
514 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
515 See the header size of the email record after
516 refactoring.
517 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
518 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
519 The Controller object does not know the format
520 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
521 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
522 to talk to the device.
523 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
524 we come!
525 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
526 2006/09/01
527 - added sample hotplug scripts
528 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
529 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
530 handle non-little-endian machines
531 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
532 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
533 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
534 and cause a failure to reach the device...
535 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
536 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
537 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
538 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
539 engineered.
540 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
541 for smarter syncing
542 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
543 flags of individual blackberry device records
544 - added endian macros throughout the code

549 for development)
550 - removed slow sync functions for now
551 2006/07/07
552 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
553 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
554 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
555 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
556 the base classes for all exceptions
557 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
558 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
559 2006/06/22

567 and upload it to a blackberry
568 - updated src/.cvsignore
569 2006/06/16

573 - content ID (CID)
574 - old and new description
575 - DSID
576 - bes domain / domain
577 - date change in legal.txt
578 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
579 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
580 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
581 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
582 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
583 2006/06/09
584 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
585 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
586 - added AUTHORS file
587 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
588 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
589 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.

607 2006/03/29
608 - copyright dates updated for 2006
609 2006/01/05
610 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.

638 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
639 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
640 throw exception in controller.cc
641 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
642 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
643 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...

645 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
646 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
647 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data

663 - added boost::serialization to build
664 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
665 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
666 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,

684 optimize away protocol struct casts
685 see:
686 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25235

690 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
691 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
692 structs are completely hidden in the library...
693 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
695 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

718 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
719 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
720 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
721 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
722 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
723 Observed maximum blank count: 1
724 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
725 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
726 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
727 seem to need more time...)
728 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
729 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
730 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
731 with Python, if used(?)
732 - added Message class for Email records
733 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
734 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database

751 a public API function
752 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
753 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
754 the command line
755 - added mode checks to Controller
756 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
757 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX

762 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
763 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
764 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output

766 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
767 from the Command Table
768 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
769 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
770 the Cassis spec more closely
771 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
772 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
773 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
774 destructors
775 2005/11/17
776 - added Doxyfile to the project
777 - tuned Makefile
778 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
779 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
780 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
781 data transfers.
782 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
783 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
784 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
785 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
786 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
787 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
788 less buffer than data copied
789 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
790 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
791 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
792 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
793 data
794 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
795 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
796 saved
797 - implemented socket::Close()
798 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
799 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
800 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
801 2005/11/11
802 - added .cvsignore files to project
803 - added README notes to document the source architecture
804 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
805 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
806 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
807 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
808 -l = list only
809 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
810 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
811 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
812 results
813 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
814 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
815 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
816 - regular debug output
817 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
818 syslog someday, and never turned off)
819 - raw data dump output
820 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
821 numbers into english (limited success)
822 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
823 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
824 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
825 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
826 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
827 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
828 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
829 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
830 for socket 0 operations.
831 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
832 MAKE_PACKET()
833 COMMAND()
834 IS_COMMAND()
835 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
836 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
837 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
838 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
839 2005/10/20
840 - syncberry tree started
